Chapter 996: Decision of the Game World
The Game World.
While various schemes and conflicts were occurring in the Main World, various changes were also quietly happening within the Game World.
First was the clones that had been scattered out; they completely confirmed the regional imaging of the entire Game World for me.
Through the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, the final integration was completed, and a three-dimensional world map was drawn out for this world without any errors.
Including but not limited to the Infinite Group Myriad Worlds Terminal branches spread all over the world.
The above-ground residential areas for high-end vanguard players.
There was also the headquarters of the Myriad Worlds Terminal, as well as the wireless energy perpetuum mobile built from three Void Cracks that penetrated heaven and earth.
Such a discovery had already laid a foundation.
That was the ability for me to flip the table with the Supreme Council at any time!
However, the planning in the Main World had not yet taken the dominant position, and too rapid a conquest of the Game World would only make those Transcendent Academies more vigilant.
Moreover, this world could not yet be directly used to repair the Main World.
The result of flipping the table too early would only be to make everyone suffer in dire straits ahead of time.
I admitted that the world dominated by the game was eroded and decadent, but the labor pains of overthrowing it could plunge them into eternal damnation!
In the final analysis, one sentence... it was not yet time.
And in the current Igsuo above-ground city, with the efforts of the Truth Protection Association, some players who were the first to bravely attempt had already joined this game of reality.
But the operation of a city was not a very simple operation.
The simplest issue of Game Coin and basic food supply was enough to stump all resistance forces.
However, under the advance layout of my plant technology, although everything could not be counted as on the right track yet, the current Branch President of the Truth Protection Association, Tang En, saw infinite hope in the rise of plant technology.
The establishment of reality world infrastructure, the promotion of various plant technology product utensils, including food production assembly lines, and fresh vegetables! Fruits!
These were all things they had never eaten before!
They had only experienced them in the game world, but after eating in the game world, what they had to face in the reality world was only those nauseating foods used to satisfy hunger, or nutrient fluids.
Long-term lack of food intake had caused the people of the Game World to have their sense of taste and digestive systems weakened to a certain extent.
Therefore, when these foods were promoted, they also upset many people's stomachs, triggering some terrible social impacts, but this matter was also quickly pacified...
It was truly a case of mountain boars being unable to eat fine bran.
To want the Igsuo above-ground city to live on in reality, they also needed to have their own currency, building a medium for transaction in real life.
If all this was built upon the Game Coin, then how was this different from handing the lifeline of the city over to the Supreme Council?
And wanting to confirm the value of the currency, naturally required giving the issued currency a basic anchor.
At the very beginning, the hope was to use food as an equivalent; after all, food was the basic need for human survival, and stable production of food was equivalent to the value of currency.
But this very shortsighted decision was quickly abandoned; this kind of value was just barter with a different skin.
And did things with natural value exist in the Game World?
Was it recognized?
Gold and silver, Transcendent materials, Transcendent energy...
These common equivalents were somewhat inapplicable in the Game World.
Finally, the Truth Protection Association made the final decision to link the newly issued “Hardwood Coin” with the power permissions of the Power Network, and set up permission thresholds and so on, to avoid operations of exchanging money for power without a bottom line.
Doing this had another benefit, which was that the framework was limited under the Power Network, and the possibility of rebellion would not appear.
Because the wealthier the people were, the less they wished for the Power Network and the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree to collapse.
At least when facing difficulties, power could be condensed into a single rope.
Admittedly, this framework looked a bit like “small-time play”, and was also overly idealistic.
But standing at the highest level, I saw it very clearly: typical game player thinking, money represented ability, represented power, represented influence, represented status.
The influence of the game concept on this world still exceeded my expectations.
But I still agreed to such a framework.
Someone always had to engage in trial and error for the success of this world, right?
Standing from a higher perspective, I saw it very clearly.
The Game World was ultimately just a world.
I did not have the cost for trial and error, but once they engaged in trial and error, what they faced would only be eternal damnation.
Therefore, any decision they made, in my view, was a huge gamble, and the determination required to make it was far beyond what I could imagine.
In this Game World, it seemed there really were people paying everything for the survival of this world.
At this moment, standing on the night view terrace of the hotel on the top floor of the Calamity Witch Building, I was playing with a Hardwood Coin in my hand.
The last time I saw this Hardwood Coin was still in that Small World, but as that world transformed into a part of the Expansion Realm, the Hardwood Coin also was reduced to the dust of history.
Perhaps the Expansion Realm still had some Hardwood Coin collectibles, but it was already no longer a valuable currency.
The advantage of the Hardwood Coin was also obvious; at least its anti-counterfeiting ability was top-notch.
This was a by-product unique to plant technology, and now, this had become the medium linking the Igsuo above-ground city in the Game World with the Power Network.
The development of the Power Network and the Root Network also allowed online payment and online trading to develop.
This step didn't span very far.
In the Game World, players had long been accustomed to this payment mode.
It could be said that this payment method was not progress, but unburdening life in the reality world.
The Hardwood Coin bank of Igsuo above-ground city was also established, right below the Calamity Witch Building.
A place I could see just by lowering my head; no one dared to have designs on this place.
Following a notification sound, I finally came back to my senses from this observation.
Immediately after, an illusory figure emerged before me.
As Tang En's application of the Seed of Great Knowledge became increasingly mature, now when he generally came to find me, he used this contactless method to meet with me.
And I also moved further and further away from the sight of the entire Igsuo above-ground city.
The ones putting in more effort were actually the Order Keepers who controlled the Power Network, as well as the mobile personnel armed with extraordinary power.
And the Calamity Witch had mostly transformed into a symbol, carved into the corners of the Igsuo above-ground city.
“Is there movement?”
I opened my mouth to ask.
“Yes, Lady Witch. We received a secret message from Monroe at the Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area. The other party hopes to meet with you there.”
Tang En opened his mouth to report in the most concise manner.
“Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area...”
I repeated this place, corresponding it to the map collected for me by my clones.
This was a very interesting place.
According to the information data, that was a crack like a natural moat.
One side pointed to the wireless energy perpetuum mobile of the Infinite Group Myriad Worlds Terminal headquarters, and the other side extended to the edge of the continent, reaching into the deep sea.
So that crack formed a spectacle of seawater pouring back into a thin strip of sky that was theoretically extremely scenic.
However, going over with the clone's nature of watching for fun, it was discovered that it had already become a garbage disposal area.
Both sides of this Earth Rift Resettlement Area were above-ground cities like Igsuo.
The cities were exceptionally developed, and the garbage produced used this place as the final disposal site.
And regarding the resettlement areas on both sides below the Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area, it could be said that garbage dumping at fixed times could be seen every day.
Originally I thought the people living here lived in dire straits... but in the end, they lived even more comfortably than those in other Chaotic Areas and Earth Rift Resettlement Areas.
They had already lived to become like cockroaches in nature.
They even fought fiercely for that garbage, and professional scavengers had even emerged.
These images became more numerous the more I recalled them, until I no longer went to think about them.
“Are you sure it is Monroe who wants to meet me there?”
I opened my mouth to ask.
Monroe, this spiritual leader of the Truth Protection Association; for me to be summoned here, his contribution could be said to be indispensable.
Theoretically, since he presided over this transformation of the Igsuo above-ground city, yet he dared not appear in this city, this was indeed quite strange.
Perhaps even he did not expect that I would take down this city with such thunderous methods, right?
Moreover, the branch in this city probably wouldn't listen to him anymore now.
As the framework of the Power Network was set up, combined with pegging it to the Hardwood Coin, then this faction had in fact completely leaned towards me.
Then Monroe, this spiritual leader... would he agree?
I wasn't clear.
If he was an idealistic warrior fighting to overthrow this rotten world, I wouldn't mind accepting the invitation to meet him.
After all, to be able to become the spiritual leader of the Truth Protection Association, the Association President.
Either the other party was a savior who emerged as the times required, or it was a... hehe...
But no matter what was said, according to my understanding, wasn't the Child of Destiny used like this?
If I met the other party, and the other party wasn't a Child of Destiny, then I would conversely have to suspect some things.
However, there was another point that made me very concerned... this Game World used the Destiny of this world as the medium for the creation of characters in this world.
Did the World Will of this world really still have the capital to use Destiny to interfere?
No matter what, ignoring the decay of the Game World, just based on the accumulation and development of this world, it was about to become a Large World with several world clusters soon.
They had means to utilize Destiny, so Destiny was controlled in the hands of people.
Under such circumstances, how could a Child of Destiny who emerged as the times required be born?
At this moment, Tang En also hurriedly spoke upon hearing my words: “Yes, but our means of communication with the other party are limited, and we can only intermittently receive some encrypted messages.”
After all, all messages in the Game World could not bypass the Myriad Worlds Terminal, and they dared not borrow the products of the Myriad Worlds Terminal to obtain contact.
“No need to engage in these messy things anymore. I will go there personally, and things will be clear.”
I spoke.
“Ah? This... Lady Witch, you want to go personally? This! This is completely unnecessary! What if this is just a... set up by that old geezer Monroe...”
“What's the rush?”
I interrupted Tang En's words and continued to say:
“I know there is a problem; even if there is no problem this time, there will be problems. Do you think I will die?”
“Lady Witch's power is Transcendent! How could you possibly die!”
Tang En reacted quickly after being pointed at like this; the Lady Witch before him was just one of an unknown number of clones, so how could she die?
Thinking of this, his heart also settled down greatly.
“Good that you know. That guy Monroe likely has problems...”
Saying this, my words paused for a moment, and then I looked at Tang En again.
“Lady Witch! If you have any instructions, I will certainly act according to them!”
Tang En spoke very tactfully.
“Tell me... if the Igsuo above-ground city didn't have me on the surface, how long could you guys last?”
“What? You... oh... you plan to retreat behind the scenes?”
After a moment of shock flashed past, Tang En asked tentatively.
“Everyone in the current Igsuo above-ground city knows that a Lady Witch who protects them lives in the Calamity Witch Building. I have rarely appeared in front of them anymore; whether I am there or not is actually essentially the same.”
“But... without you presiding over things, if the Myriad Worlds Terminal headquarters lets the vanguard team raid the Igsuo above-ground city again, those people armed with the extraordinary power of the Power Network will probably suffer heavy casualties...”
“Then what if they knew I didn't die... but just wasn't inside this Calamity Witch Building anymore?”
I continued to speak.
Those who knew and constantly paid attention to my situation were currently only the high-level members of the Truth Protection Association Branch, the Supreme Council, and those Wizard Apprentices and their Outsiders.
The people of the Igsuo above-ground city would never know anything; they would only know that I was in this building, and would continue to exist.
“In that case... they might also be apprehensive... No! They should be even more terrified! Once you are not in the Igsuo above-ground city, then you could be anywhere in this world!”
Tang En quickly figured this out.
“Yes... this time going to meet that old geezer named Monroe, if he has problems, I will likely ‘die’ there. The branch here won't know the true situation. You quickly take over all my legacy, continue to use my name, and grasp the Association in your own hands.”
“This... is there some deep meaning in tossing things about like this?”
Tang En hesitated for a moment but still asked carefully.
“Heh... if nominally there is no me above your head, wouldn't you be able to monopolize everything in the Association even more unscrupulously and boldly? Afterwards, you will also inherit my legacy, and you will be the replica of the Calamity Witch in their eyes. Coupled with the assistance of those Outsiders who were made into my clones, you shouldn't be unable to sit securely, right?”
“I definitely won't let down Lady Witch's expectations!”
Tang En immediately stated his attitude.
“It is a test. Only a Truth Protection Association without the Calamity Witch can be considered the true and pure resistance force of your world, at least on the surface.”
“Then... regarding the Myriad Worlds Terminal headquarters...”
“If they send a vanguard team over, I will send them away along with their characters and players, and they will know that I haven't truly died. However, I think they are also willing to let the Calamity Witch die on the surface, right?”
I opened my mouth to explain.
But in reality, the Main World would definitely transmit news to the Game World.
Those Wizard Apprentices would likely know that my main body hadn't come over, so the death of a clone was meaningless.
